Applying to the NCP - worries about old SH scars

Hi, I'm someone who's going to school to be a nurse and is getting ready to apply for the NCP. This is something I have been preparing for and have been wanting to do since high school - be a navy nurse, that is - and unfortunately I just found out that SH scars could be a reason for rejection. I heard you can get a waiver done, however the selection for the NCP is more selective and allegedly your MEPS stuff goes to a board? Correct me if I'm wrong, this is just what I found through my research. Anyway, I feel kind of discouraged and worried. I'm going to be telling my recruiter about it soon and I'm worried I'm going to be told that it's not even worth it to apply. The other thing is I've been wanting to get a coverup tattoo for a while (not because of this) but I'm worried it will seem like I'm trying to be deceptive. I'm not really sure what to do and I'm honestly rethinking if I should even apply because of it.

For added information these scars are a few years old, nothing recent. I have gotten some treatment since that point and have no diagnoses. Most of them pretty much bled in because they're healed but it's just something I'm concerned about.

Do any Navy Nurses know if this is going to be an automatic rejection? Or anyone? Just looking for some advice.
